Well, Krypton fans, that was one wild first season finale.
The hit Syfy series closed out its inaugural season with some intense action, serious emotional moments, and a jaw-dropping ending. Tonight's season finale was so wild that we aren't quite sure how we're going to wait for next season to see how things play out. In the meantime we have some major questions about what happened during tonight's "The Phantom Zone," what it means for some of our favorite characters, and how the whole thing impacts Superman mythos as we thought we knew it.
Going into tonight's episode we know Brainiac had arrived on Krypton , Zod is Seg's son, Adam Strange lives, and no one knows where Doomsday is. Coming out we want to know so much more so here are our big questions following tonight's season one finale of Krypton.
Oh, and if for some reason you're reading this and haven't yet seen the finale episode, there are spoilers beyond this point. Big ones.
Last week, Zod wanted to use Doomsday to take down Brainiac while Seg did not. Both men were thwarted though when the Cythonnites decided to take Doomsday away for their own purposes -- which involved putting him somewhere so that when his containment unit fails? He'll get to break free and attack anything in his path. In theory that will include Brainiac, but it will also include regular Kryptonians as well. This is, as you might guess, a bad situation.
Yet in tonight's finale Doomsday didn't arrive and, to make matters worse, we found out that even the dreaded Doomsday can't take down Brainiac. The Brainiac concern was made moot due to him being sent in the Phantom Zone (more on that in a bit) so with that threat out of the way -- what happened to Doomsday? We're betting that he's out there somewhere in Kandor, his containment unit's failure imminent, waiting for the perfect moment in season two to appear.
Tonight's episode held a stunning reveal for Nyssa. With Brainiac in the process of bottling the city, the plan was to flee and that's exactly what Nyssa aimed to do. She just had one important stop first. She went to collect the fetus of her future child with Seg and in the process runs into Jax-Ur who reveals a shocking truth.
As we discovered last episode, there was a secret cloning program used by members of the elite to remain immortal. Tonight, viewers and Nyssa found out that she isn't the first Nyssa-Vex. Instead, when she was a child, she was gravely injured in the same accident that killed her mother. Her body was beyond repair, but she had enough neural function that they were able to use her clone and fuse the original Nyssa with the clone. Her whole life? It's been a lie.
So how does Nyssa move forward from that? Discovering your dad is pretty much a terrible person as Nyssa has is one thing. Discovering that he orchestrated this lie of your life? Very different. Nyssa's entire sense of identity is now up in the air, but at least it looks like she has someone to lean on. We see her and Jax-Ur arrive at the Fortress in the final moments of tonight's episode where Val-El is waiting.
Brainiac was defeated tonight, but at a cost. Before fully being sent to the Phantom Zone, Brainiac managed to drag Seg with him and the instant they both disappeared Superman's cape was no longer Superman's cape. Gone was the House of El. In its place? The crest of House Zod. You see, with Seg gone, Superman will never be born and there's no one to stop Zod from taking control of Kandor and Krypton and that's exactly what we see happen. A few weeks after Brainiac's defeat and Zod has full authoritarian control. People have even been made to kneel.
So. What about Superman? Well, fans, right now it looks like there is no Superman and that doesn't bode well for Earth.
Remember when we saw Adam Strange interacting with some odd woman last week? Turns out, that was on Earth and as we find out tonight she wasn't moving because Brainiac had bottled where she was, locking her and everyone else into place. Does that mean Brainiac has taken Earth?
No, Brainiac has not taken Earth. He has, however, apparently bottled Detroit which is where Adam was sent back to. And if that wasn't a terrifying enough realization for our space and time traveller the next thing he sees certainly is. There's a big statue of Zod in Detroit, presumably where one to Superman may have stood.
Say it with me: this is not good.
As it appears that Adam was sent back to a bottled Detroit it kind of puts him in a position where he isn't able to help sort things out on Krypton or deal with the lack of Superman situation. So waht now?
Realistically anything is possible. As we "met" Sardath and Alanna this season they might have the ability to intervene. It's also possible that the changes to the timeline now that Zod is in power on Krypton may result in other characters showing up. We know, thanks to Geoff John's comments at San Diego Comic-Con last year that
Statement Bag Drip paint cat by VIDA VIDA LMkAKbj
Maybe one of those characters will play a role in bringing Adam back into the action.
The Phantom Zone plays a key role in tonight's episode. First, we discover that Val-El did not die but instead went into the Phantom Zone during his "execution" during the season premiere. Why hadn't he come back? Well, Zod stole the device he needed to get home for his own selfish aims. When Zod realized they needed Val, though, he went to get him and that's when they discovered the horrible truth: there is no way to defeat Brainiac.
Except, Seg figured out a way. When Zod decided he would simply trade Val to Brainiac for total control of Krypton, Zod brought the alien to the Fortress. Seg said that he would rather shoot his grandfather than let Brainiac have him and Brainiac, thinking himself pretty smart said that Seg was lying and, oh, by the way, he knows a hologram when he sees one. But despite being a twelfth level intellect he doesn't seem to be able to see a trap. Brainiac stepped right into the center of the room and Seg sent him to the Phantom Zone. Unfortunately, Brainiac took Seg with him.
What's next? As we've seen, Seg isn't going down without a fight. We expect that he will either find a way out of the Phantom Zone or make an alliance that will restore him to Krypton to fight Zod.
Now that Seg is trapped in the Phantom Zone it's likely that we'll get a peek inside next season. But who will we see? As we've seen with Zod and Val being in the Zone at the same time time doesn't really work the same way there that it does outside of it so we could, theoretically see villains and others from almost any point in the timeline -- and the mythos. That's a large swath of characters, but there's one possibility that we think could be very intriguing: Cor-Vex.
Tonight, we saw Nyssa desperately trying to save her unborn child, Cor-Vex. In , the character Car-Vex served under General Zod and was eventually placed in the Phantom Zone. As the series
Aloe Sunglasses in Neon Pink and Navy Blue Acetate and Metal Mykita 6EAvu
, it's not impossible that Seg could encounter a variant version of his future child in the Phantom Zone. Considering that Zod is also his son, that itself could be very interesting.
When Zod confronts Braniac, he mentions that the next planet Brainiac has his sights set on is Cygnus 4019. In comics, Cygnus 4019 is better known as Planet Salvation, a distant planet full of deadly tech, creatures, and one that is used by the New Gods of Apokolips as a training planet of sorts.
That's right, we said New Gods.
If Brainiac is after Planet Salvation, does this mean we might end up seeing the New Gods on ? It's not impossible, though with the New Gods movie in the works how that would play out in terms of character usage is anyone's guess. One thing that we do know is that bringing Cygnus 4019 into the equation opens up a ton of possibilities -- not only is it the New Gods' training planet of sorts, but in comics Amanda Waller and Checkmate have both used it as a prison for metahuman villains.

The total composite SLA is:
But there are tradeoffs to this approach. The application logic is more complex, you are paying for the queue, and there may be data consistency issues to consider.
SLA for multi-region deployments . Another HA technique is to deploy the application in more than one region, and use Azure Traffic Manager to fail over if the application fails in one region. For a two-region deployment, the composite SLA is calculated as follows.SLA for multi-region deployments
Let N be the composite SLA for the application deployed in one region. The expected chance that the application will fail in both regions at the same time is (1 − N) × (1 − N). Therefore,
Finally, you must factor in the
Charm Bracelet Luxia by VIDA VIDA kZS0m7pr
. At the time of this writing, the SLA for Traffic Manager SLA is 99.99%.
Also, failing over is not instantaneous and can result in some downtime during a failover. See
double buckle waist belt Black BLow The Belt MEdqS53e2
The calculated SLA number is a useful baseline, but it doesn't tell the whole story about availability. Often, an application can degrade gracefully when a non-critical path fails. Consider an application that shows a catalog of books. If the application can't retrieve the thumbnail image for the cover, it might show a placeholder image. In that case, failing to get the image does not reduce the application's uptime, although it affects the user experience.
Failures can vary in the scope of their impact. Some hardware failures, such as a failed disk, may affect a single host machine. A failed network switch could affect a whole server rack. Less common are failures that disrupt a whole data center, such as loss of power in a data center. Rarely, an entire region could become unavailable.
One of the main ways to make an application resilient is through redundancy. But you need to plan for this redundancy when you design the application. Also, the level of redundancy that you need depends on your business requirements — not every application needs redundancy across regions to guard against a regional outage. In general, there is a tradeoff between greater redundancy and reliability versus higher cost and complexity.
Azure has a number of features to make an application redundant at every level of failure, from an individual VM to an entire region.
Single VM . Azure provides an uptime SLA for single VMs. Although you can get a higher SLA by running two or more VMs, a single VM may be reliable enough for some workloads. For production workloads, we recommend using two or more VMs for redundancy.Single VM
Availability sets . To protect against localized hardware failures, such as a disk or network switch failing, deploy two or more VMs in an availability set. An availability set consists of two or more fault domains that share a common power source and network switch. VMs in an availability set are distributed across the fault domains, so if a hardware failure affects one fault domain, network traffic can still be routed the VMs in the other fault domains. For more information about Availability Sets, see Manage the availability of Windows virtual machines in Azure .

Efforts to strengthen resilience against disasters and climate change have gained momentum in recent years. But, how can we ensure these efforts are benefiting people who need the most?
Take the case of an ADB-supported technical assistance project in communities from 10 villages in Gunungkidul District in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The communities got together with their local governments to lead a village risk-mapping process to identify and prioritize resilience-building measures.
From an outsider perspective, resilience building should have a stronger focus on earthquake risk, especially since the communities have witnessed large-scale destruction of housing and infrastructure in the recent past. But for local residents, the priority is drought – a hazard that is more frequent and has a direct impact on their livelihoods. They recognize the shifting patterns of rain and dry periods in recent years, resulting in frequent crop failures that directly impact their livelihoods.
Worsening water shortages are also an issue, requiring households to buy water for domestic purposes, farming and for tending livestock. This has sharply increased household expenses.
Through the risk-mapping process, villagers prioritized resilience-building strategies that would reduce food and water shortages and protect natural resources while increasing income.
An example is planting acacia on hill slopes. Since the acacia tree is drought-tolerant and helps to stabilize the soil in areas threatened by erosion, the space between the trees is being used to plant ginger and herbs that command a good price in the local market.
Data on vulnerable individuals (women, children, the elderly and disabled), collected by women's groups are being used to improve the targeting of social protection programs.
In the past, women's groups were only involved in decision-making on social issues such as health and education. However, the risk mapping process has allowed them to better understand infrastructure and livelihoods-related needs for strengthening resilience. They are able to bring these needs to the local authorities, and thus engage in wider development issues.
Furthermore, the collective understanding of risk allowed the communities to advocate for resilience-building measures to be financed through the village development fund.
This case study highlights a few considerations that are critical for resilience initiatives to have an impact.
Blossom Cuban ID Bracelet Foundrae 2Z9Psu
First, natural hazards are becoming more frequent and intense with climate change. When communities prioritize resilience-building measures, they usually focus on hazards that have everyday impacts on their lives and livelihoods.
However, natural hazards are only one factor contributing to disaster risk. The other two underlying factors are exposure of people and assets to the natural hazards, and the degree of vulnerability faced by those people and assets.
Both exposure and vulnerability are often shaped at the local level (because of decision-making processes involved in local development). Efforts to enhance resilience therefore require knowledge of the local area such as physical geography, socioeconomic issues, the role of women in the community, and how decisions are made.
Without such local knowledge, efforts to improve resilience will not be sustainable and will not benefit those who need them most.
Second, resilience interventions often look solely at how to avoid potential losses due to damage to infrastructure and assets from disasters.
The assumption here is that everyone in the community has equal access to infrastructure and assets and that they will therefore benefit from resilient infrastructure. That, however, that may not be the case.
More importantly, damage to assets provides a partial picture of the impacts on poor households or communities. It is equally important to understand the impact of disasters on income and wellbeing. This will help us design interventions that achieve development benefits over the short term (through livelihoods), as well as reduce vulnerability in the long term.
The interventions will also be more holistic in nature as they would support different facets of resilience – physical, livelihoods, social, ecosystems, financial, and institutional.
Third, when designing projects to improve the resilience of poor and vulnerable communities, we should not forget that populations living in these communities are not homogenous.
The impacts of disasters may have different effects on different groups and may need different solutions to strengthen resilience.
Local risk-mapping supports resilience based on actual needs
For example, chronically poor or vulnerable individuals may need more consumption support during lean times to deal the impact of disasters. On the other hand, households that are "transitional" poor may need support during specific times of the year, such as flood season, to diversify their livelihood and acquire new skills so they can adapt to changing hazard patterns. Women have specific needs and may need tailored solutions to strengthen resilience.
Moreover, household level interventions may be called for, whereas in other cases community-level interventions might be more appropriate.
Governments and development partners in Asia-Pacific are systematically assessing disaster risk in the context of project preparation across different sectors.
However, these assessments tend to focus on identifying the potential risks of disasters to the proposed project outputs (roads, water supply, irrigation, school building) and not necessarily the risk faced by the communities in the local areas.
This leads to resilience measures that do not always address the underlying factors contributing to exposure and vulnerability, and do not benefit all those who need more support to deal with climate change and disaster risk.
Moving forward, part of the solution would be to support local risk mapping, at least during preparation of projects that target interventions at household, community, and local government level. Examples include community-driven rural development, upgrading of urban informal settlements, and social protection.
Assessments undertaken through participatory processes will help capture local perspectives on disaster risk and identify underlying factors that contribute to localized risk that can be supported through the project.
Moreover, the benefits of local level assessment go beyond informing project design. They provide opportunities for transformational changes. For example, communities can be empowered to interact with local governments to collectively identify disaster risk, including how that risk is changing over time. They can build consensus on priority interventions for strengthening resilience, and, in many cases take actions by mobilizing local resources.
Resilience-building projects should have mechanisms to ensure that the funds are actually reaching the local level, and that communities have a say on how to spend the money. Deciding for the communities without consulting them, and then expecting the locals to support the arrangement is not sustainable for resilience building.
And that's not all. Once the communities have had their say, they must have the capacity and skills to implement the resilience initiatives they have prioritized in the risk-mapping process.

Simply put...
There are no studies that indicate any long-term health risks from drinking diet soda. Diet Soda (defined as calorie free carbonated beverages sweetened with aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame-potassium, or other non-caloric or minimally caloric sweeteners) is not harmful to health, well-being, or body composition.[1]
There is no evidence that diet soda inhibits fat loss, or that it even spikes insulin levels to levels that would be detrimental to health.
Current research that attempts to link diet soda with health issues[2][3] did not have equal caloric consumption. Excess caloric consumption has a direct correlation with many health issues, and in fact one of the studies[2] distinctly states:
Consequently, the previously observed diet soda–metabolic syndrome associations are generally speculated to be the result of residual confounding by other dietary behaviors, lifestyle factors, or demographic characteristics (1,2). Biological mechanisms possibly explaining these associations are few and largely focus on artificial sweeteners in beverages/foods increasing the desire for (and consumption of) sugar-sweetened, energy-dense beverages/foods (3) or disrupting consumers' ability to accurately estimate energy intake and remaining energy needs (4). Thus, diet soda consumption may result in overconsumption, increased body weight, and consequent metabolic dysfunction.
As all current research has found diet soda sweeteners to be safe per se, a tentative conclusion is that diet soda is harmless when paired with an otherwise controlled diet; many people who have bad diets consume diet soda in an attempt to do "less damage" - this results in an incorrect conclusion that diet soda leads to an unhealthy condition.
What about those studies that I read saying diet soda was bad?
Most likely that was a survey or epidemiological research. This is research that aims to find correlations (relationships) between two variables, and sets up future studies to find which variable causes what.
There are many studies that note that diet soda is frequently consumed by unhealthy people,[2][3] but no studies that compare people with equivalent diets. One study (Northern Manhattan Study) was able to control a fair bit of variables and found a weak correlation between diet soda and vascular events, but these differences disappeared when 'pre-existing health conditions' were considered.[4]
When comparing diet soda against other non-caloric beverages in an intervention study, and you control the rest of the diet, no difference in weight loss is noted. This suggests that the problem is likely the habits of people who drink diet soda, rather than the diet soda itself.[2] The Northern Manhattan study suggested that diet soda use may be correlated with disease as it its consumption was an attempt by (already unhealthy) individuals to reduce calories and take control of their health.[4]
What are the legitimate downsides to diet soda?
Soda (in general) has been linked to poor dental health numerous times, especially children.[5][6] Although sucrose (sugar) plays a major role, the general acidity of diet sodas can also negatively influence dental health.[5] Overconsumption of soft drinks without adequate dental intervention may result in cavities and yellowing of teeth, and this applies to both sugared and diet sodas; although sugared are worse in this regard.[7]
Like most things, overconsumption may not be a good idea, especially for your teeth. Otherwise if you want to enjoy a Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Pepsi, or whatever diet soda you enjoy most, don't feel guilty about it.

This week, Marian University welcomed more students than ever before. Enrollment for the fall semester has reached a record high. This achievement comes in the midst of reports of declining enrollment at institutions of higher education across the nation.
Total enrollment is expected to exceed 2,600 students by the September 15 census date, when official enrollment numbers are reported. That will top the previous record of 2,582 students, recorded in fall 2012. This year's enrollment is bolstered by Marian University's College of Osteopathic Medicine, which contributes 162 first-year medical students to the total enrollment number.
Perhaps most impressive is the record number of first-time, full-time freshmen who will attend this semester. This week, 333 first-time, full-time freshmen started classes, an all-time record at the university and an 11 percent increase over last year.
"We see this remarkable enrollment growth as further evidence that our students, their parents, and the many donors that are investing in Marian University see value in the quality academic programs and supportive environment we provide," Marian University President Daniel J. Elsener said. "Marian University is building a great Catholic university in a great American city for service to this state and beyond, and a lot of people want to be a part of that mission."
Marian University is also expecting record enrollment for its graduate programs. That number should exceed 300, not including the students in the College of Osteopathic Medicine. Marian University post baccalaureate programs are offered through the university's Academy for Teaching and Learning Leadership.
"We're obviously excited about our record enrollment, but we're equally proud of the quality of student that will be attending Marian University this fall," President Elsener said. "We are truly educating future leaders for health care, business, education, and the Church."
This year's freshman class comprises students from 17 states. Not surprisingly, Indiana leads that list, followed by Illinois and Ohio. Students from as far away as Texas and Washington will also be attending Marian University this fall.
The highly regarded Alan and Sue Leighton School of Nursing continues to have the largest enrollment at the university, with 75 freshmen currently enrolled in the program. The School of Mathematics and Sciences' biology program, the Byrum School of Business' marketing and management programs, and the School of Education and Exercise Science's elementary education program round out the top five most popular majors with this year's freshman class.

|Caps Week of Rehearsals With Tim McGraw
NASHVILLE, TN – For Kenny Chesney, writing and finding songs that move people is job #1. Fresh off his work recording music for his forthcoming album 'Welcome To The Fishbowl,' which is available June 19, Chesney is eager to introduce 12 songs that move people physically and emotionally. With 'Fishbowl,' Chesney quickens the artistic stride he achieved on his last album, and his new single, "Come Over," which is quickly reverberating with fans and music lovers, is proof.
"Come Over" was delivered to radio Monday morning and has become the most requested song across the country, quickly rising to the top of the iTunes country sales chart (currently at #2). "The biggest artist in our format, may have just given us the biggest ballad of his career," said Bruce Logan, the Program Director of WTQR/WSSL/WESC. "After just one listen, everyone realizes 'Come Over' is destined to be a smash."
Fans are also enthusiastic about "Come Over" with postings like "Kenny's new single 'Come Over' only makes me 1000x more excited for the rest of the new album," and, "Obsessed with 'Come Over'. 'Baby climbing the walls get me nowhere.' On repeat for a day!"
On recording "Come Over" and much of the new music for 'Fishbowl,' Chesney said, "My love and appreciation for music grows wider and deeper every day. I don't know that I would record the same music today I did five years ago and I wouldn't have recorded songs like 'Come Over,' 'El Cerrito Place' and 'You & Tequila' five years ago. I don't know that I could have sung them with the same emotion and believability. 'Come Over' is about two people who are not good for each other but they're addicted and keep going back to one another. That might have hit too close to home to sing about five years ago," laughs Chesney.
Fans will get the chance to hear "Come Over" and many songs from the new album this summer starting June 2 when the 'Brothers of the Sun' Tour, with Chesney and Tim McGraw kicks off in Tampa, FL. The longtime friends capped a week of rehearsals yesterday in Nashville. Fans can look forward to extended sets from both entertainers as well as special surprises later in the shows. Jake Owen and Grace Potter & The Nocturnals are also on the bill.

The man accused in the hit-and-run crash that injured a child had his case continued in court.
Fred Willard Langford, of Catawba, was set to appear in Superior Court on an administrative hearing last week, and his case was continued to Oct. 4.
Langford was indicted June 14 on charges of felony hit and run, driving while license revoked, expired registration and reckless driving.
He allegedly rear-ended a Kia in May at the intersection of Emmanuel Church and Travis roads in Conover and left the scene. Langford had a permanently revoked license at the time of the crash.
A 2-year-old, who was riding in the Kia at the time of the incident, was critically injured.
Langford turned himself into police days after the crash.

Relay For Life of Lewiston/Niagara invites the community to join for a complimentary breakfast, Saturday, March 9, from 10 a.m. to noon at Water Street Landing in Lewiston to kick off plans for the 2013 Relay.
"Everyone is welcome to join us for a complimentary breakfast at Water Street Landing to celebrate a terrific 2012 Relay and kick off a brand-new year for 2013," says Lewiston/Niagara Relay spokesperson Tami Gabri, director of special events at the American Cancer Society. "We'll be launching our 2013 theme, 'Camp Out for a Cure,' as well as discussing all the changes so we can 'Relay Big' this year!"
Gabri says that leading the news on this year's Lewiston/Niagara Relay is a new date and change of venue. Held in past years in mid-June on the high school track at the Lewiston-Porter campus, and a one-year stint at Academy Park in Lewiston, the 16th Lewiston/Niagara Relay will take place Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 3 and 4, at Reservoir State Park. The event will begin at 3 p.m. Saturday and continue overnight until 6 a.m. Sunday at the recently renovated state park located on Military Road bordering Lewiston and the Town of Niagara.
"Relay For Life provides everyone an opportunity to join the fight against cancer. Form a team, or just stop by to honor and remember your loved ones who have been touched by cancer," says Gabri. "Teams camp out all day and night to take turns walking the track and enjoying activities and entertainment throughout the day in this carnival-like atmosphere."
She reports the breakfast program will detail more on the August event and provide a time for organizing among the Lewiston/Niagara Relay's many teams and volunteers.
Awards will also presented Saturday to a number of teams and volunteers who helped make the 2012 Lewiston/Niagara Relay the success that it was. The Relay included 278 participants and 31 teams on hand, with more than $73,000 raised. "So many thanks to some amazing volunteers," says Gabri. "The Lewiston-Niagara community has come together for the last 15 years to raise over $1 million for the American Cancer Society."
Gabri reports that 2012 awards will be presented to the following: Air Force Junior ROTC Church Mice, Guard Contracting Corp., Jensen Angels, Kalfas Magnet School, Krug, Leaves of Lorien, Lewiston Family Dental, Lewiston Service Guild, Lewiston-Porter High School faculty and staff, Maureen Castiglione, Pamela Barber, Rays of Hope - Lewiston-Porter Primary, Steps of Hope, Team Hope, team Hope and Faith, and Team MaMaMoe.

Gloomy and dark ambient atmosphere will accompany the player throughout, it's up to you to get to the truth and sort out what happened, and defeat your own fears and sins. It is a kind of an adventure thriller, for some it may seem like a horror game and they will be right. Though this game has 6 types of weapons, call it an action-shooter is difficult, because there will be more puzzles rather than enemies.

(RNN) - The internet just got weird. OK, weirder.
"Basically I'm just making potato salad. I haven't decided what kind yet," wrote Zack "Danger" Brown on the website Kickstarter.
Brown's unambitious effort on the crowd-funding site struck a chord with the online universe since its posting Thursday. It had raised more than $9,300 by Monday afternoon.
"This is amazing," Brown said in a YouTube post Sunday. "When I started this campaign, my secret goal was that we could make $60. In three days, we've made 1000 percent of that - $5,000."
He's not great at math. That's what measuring cups are for.
The guy who studied hard knocks at Denison University, according to his Facebook, pledged at the meager total of $3,000 to rent a party hall, host "the whole internet" and feed it some carbs.
Some of his previous "stretch goals" as the movement began to catch on included a potato salad-making livestream ($1,000) and calling a chef for a better recipe ($300). At $35, Brown promised to "make 4x as much potato salad. I know $40 isn't 4x $10, but you guys have earned it."
Again, math hard.
Backers were offered several perks for donations between $1 and $50. The best one may be that Brown will say each donor's name while he cooks. The total is 1,376 and counting.
But for all the spud aficionados out there expecting a flavor explosion, Brown did provide fair warning.
"It might not be that good. It's my first potato salad," he wrote.
So no complaining, people.

Digital Rupert's bumper $545m loss
MySpace sold to Specific Media with Timberlake as star investor
The very expensive, sorry tale of how to turn a cool digital business into a boring corporate leper has ended with a painful US$545 million loss for News Corp and perhaps a chance at resurrection for MySpace.
Following a prolonged sale process the social network has been sold for a bargain $35 million, to digital ad network Specific Media. MySpace CEO Mike Jones issued a widely distributed internal email to the 'myspacers' along with the official press release confirming the transaction.
Jones also confirmed that massive job cuts lie ahead for the 500 staff, which he will help the new owners with as they transition over the next two months. He will then leave the company.
"My time at MySpace represents the most engaging and challenging time of my professional career," he said. He added that over the next few days Specific's CEO Tim Vanderhook, will be detailing their "exciting plans" for MySpace and how it fits in with the overall vision of their company.
In a special life-parodying-art feature, it has also emerged that Justin Timberlake is taking a minority stake and role in the new MySpace. Clearly taking his role as Sean Parker in The Social Network to heart, Timberlake said "I'm excited to help revitalize MySpace by using its social media platform to bring artists and fans together in one community."
He will help develop the creative direction and strategy of the company but did not disclose what his financial stake was.
In a statement on his website Timberlake said: "There's a need for a place where fans can go to interact with their favorite entertainers, listen to music, watch videos, share and discover cool stuff and just connect. Art is inspired by people and vice versa, so there's a natural social component to entertainment."
Specific Media was founded in 1999 by brothers Tim, Chris and Russell Vanderhook, and has offices across the US and Europe. ®

AICPA Meets with FASB about Uniqueness of Employee Benefit Plan Financial Statements
January 30, 2014
The American Institute of CPAs' (AICPA) Employee Benefit Plans Expert Panel and the AICPA Employee Benefit Plan Audit Quality Center Executive Committee have been engaged in efforts during the past year to raise awareness among Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) members and staff about the uniqueness of employee benefit plan financial statements, including their purpose, users and preparers.
The chairs of the Expert Panel and the Executive Committee have met with FASB representatives to discuss the specialized nature of employee benefit plans and how FASB can best incorporate the consideration of employee benefit plans into its standard-setting process. As a result of this meeting, the Expert Panel and Executive Committee presented an educational session to FASB staff to help them better understand the nature of plans, the purpose and users of plan financial statements, and some of the related reporting challenges under existing GAAP.
In addition, the Expert Panel recently provided the FASB with a 26-page discussion memorandum that identifies areas in current accounting affecting employee benefit plans that are conflicting, redundant, irrelevant, or incomplete due to the specialized characteristics of plans. The discussion memorandum is intended to provide observations about difficulties encountered in practice with current plan accounting and does not suggest possible resolutions. The memorandum groups the issues into two categories (A and B) based on relevance, "operationality," and prevalence.
Category A includes areas in current accounting affecting most employee benefit plans that are conflicting, redundant, irrelevant, or incomplete due to the specialized characteristics of plans. These areas are considered to be pressing topics that apply to most plans, and standard-setter action is requested.
Category B includes areas in accounting that are difficult to apply in practice due to the specialized characteristics of plans. These areas are considered to be important topics that apply to certain types of employee benefit plans (e.g., defined benefit pension plans, health and welfare plans, and employee stock ownership plans), and may need further standard-setter action.
Additionally, the discussion memorandum highlights those areas in accounting that were previously tailored to the unique nature of plans and have been subsequently overridden by more recent standards, and explores the need for plans to be considered their own class of entity due to the specialized characteristics of plans and the differential factors that highlight how plans differ from both private companies and public companies.

I met Kendall Schoelles around dawn at 14.2 miles west of the John Gorrie Memorial Bridge on Route 30A. (That's how they measure distances in Apalachicola, Florida.) We drove his pickup down a packed dirt path to a marshland dock, where we boarded Schoelles' shallow-draft oyster boat. We were headed for the oystering grant that's been in his family since the late 19th century. The Schoelles family grant used to be 1,100 acres; after government takings, it's down to 158. That's enough to keep Kendall and his brother harvesting enough oysters to make a living. Most Apalachicola oystermen, like those pictured above, have to make do with the public bars.
Apalachicola Bay oysters are the pride of the Gulf of Mexico – plump, sweet, and salty. It's the last place in North America where wild oysters are harvested by hand by oystermen in small wooden boats. It's back-breaking work, not unlike the small-boat lobstering I used to do in Maine, and I felt honored that Schoelles let me come along to participate, if only peripherally, in this vanishing way of life. Food doesn't get any more locavore than shellfish from a town's front-yard bay.
Apalachicola Bay is a unique environment on the Gulf of Mexico, created by an extensive barrier island system at the mouth of the Apalachicola River, which drains much of Georgia and the Florida panhandle. The plankton-rich mix of salt and fresh water creates optimal conditions for oysters. Apalachicola bivalves have always been the premium Gulf Coast oysters, so prized that oysters from elsewhere in the Gulf were sent here for packing so they would be shipped out in crates stamped "Apalachicola."
Schoelles revved the engine and we sped through the weeds into flatwater, unable to see more than a few feet in the fog. I asked how he found his lease under such conditions. "Mostly, I just know," he told me. "I've been coming here most of my life." Schoelles has never fished more than two months anywhere else but on his lease. He paused for effect, "Of course, the last four or five years I use GPS."
We anchored on a bar and Schoelles got down his tongs, which resemble two garden rakes connected together like a pair of scissors. The fog was starting to lift, and I could see that loons ringed the boat because tonging stirs up the small fish that they like to eat. The chicks were diving feet from the gunwales while the adults kept their distance. Both herring and laughing gulls had keen eyes on the boat.
Tonging is intensely hard work – reaching down to the bars, closing the rakes, and hauling the catch to the surface. Schoelles did it methodically, moving the boat a few feet every few minutes, until we had a huge heap of oysters and other sea life on the deck. With the sun trying to peek through the fog behind him, he seemed to glow beatifically.
Then we sat down for the grunt work. Because Apalachicola Bay oysters are wild, not farmed, they grow in clumps with a slew of other organisms – mussels, clams, sea cucumbers, giant algae, and other creatures I couldn't possibly name. The oysters have to be separated from all these other objects – mostly by banging on the junctions with a steel culling iron without cracking the shell. All the small oysters must be tossed back to grow. Schoelles held out whelks and starfish to take ashore to die because both are oyster predators.
The cracked oysters (it's easy to smash a shell by accident) became bird food for the gulls that follow the boat. One laughing gull has been coming to Schoelles' boat every morning for two years. How does he know it's the same gull? He doesn't – not for sure – but the two seem to have an understanding.
The birds of Apalachicola eat well – but then so do the people. For more on where to enjoy the nutty, buttery flavor of Apalachicola Bay oysters, see my profile of three restaurants in the October 28 Boston Globe: "Where to eat oysters in Apalachicola."

Ready for another dose of sales figures? Samsung has just released a new number regarding Galaxy S4 sales and boy, is it a big one. Within just the first two months of its release, Samsung has now shipped 20 million Galaxy S4s. In comparison, the Galaxy S III took 100 days to gain the honor of shipping 20 million. This report was confirmed to Korean reporters by Samsung co-CEO JK Shin, and it lines up with the report that Samsung shipped 10 million Galaxy S4s in its first month of availability.
Samsung also reported that 500,000 Galaxy S4s have already been sold in their home court of South Korea. These are some weighty numbers that are being tossed around by Samsung and should help to alleviate some stockholders' fears that the Galaxy S4 isn't selling well. Of course, shipping and selling are two different matters, but if vendors haven't lowered their inventory on the Galaxy S4 then it must at least be selling.
What do you guys think of these latest figures? How do you feel about the Galaxy S4 and Samsung as a whole?

AOL Europe COO refuses job switch
'We're talking to Stan about his future plans', says AOL
AOL Europe chief operating officer (COO) Stan Laurent is rumoured to have resigned amidst a row over the future direction of the internet giant.
Staff were told last week that Laurent had decided not to take the top job in charge of AOL Europe's "Audience" operation, which looks after areas such as content and advertising.
But El Reg has been told that Laurent hasn't just declined a top job but has decided to quit the business.
AOL is refusing to comment on whether Laurent has resigned but has confirmed he has turned down the opportunity to lead its "Audience" business.
In a statement, the internet giant told us: "Stan Laurent, COO, AOL Europe, has taken a personal decision not to lead the new pan-European Audience business and Karen Thomson, President of AOL Europe, has therefore taken over this role. We are in the process of talking to Stan about his future plans."
It went on: "AOL Europe is formalising a pan-European structure for its Audience business, which comprises content, advertising, search and paid services activities. This will allow the company to further strengthen its activities in these markets and align better internally."
Earlier this month it emerged that Time Warner had hired bankers Citigroup to conduct a strategic review of its AOL Europe business as part of fresh plans to expand its operation.
Contrary to a flurry of recent press reports, the sale of parts of AOL Europe is not top of Time Warner's agenda. Instead, the US media giant is keen to pursue partnerships or third party agreements - much like the $1bn deal it struck with Google last year - to develop its business in Europe. ®

HACKENSACK, N.J. – President Donald Trump's budget proposal includes cuts to federal spending on programs, including Meals on Wheels, and spokespeople with Bergen County say that effects would be mixed.
"Currently, our constituents being served by the Meals on Wheels program will not be affected," said Rocco Mazza, communications coordinator for Bergen County Department of Human Services.
That's the program directly run by the county, but there are others operating in the county – like Pascack Valley Meals on Wheels – that might feel the impact of such cuts, Alicia D'Alessandro, communications director for the Bergen County Executive, clarified.
The president's proposed budget would cut $3 billion from the Community Development Block Grant program, Business Insider reported on Thursday.
CDBGs are administered through the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, which calls the program "an important tool for helping local governments tackle serious challenges facing their communities."
Mick Mulvaney, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, told reporters Thursday, "We can't spend money on programs just because they sound good.
"We're not going to spend money on programs that cannot show that they actually deliver the promises that we've made to people."
According to Meals on Wheels, across the country Meals on Wheels programs provided 2.4 million meals to seniors and half a million to veterans in 2016.
D'Alessandro estimated that the Bergen County program served 350,000 meals last year to 2,000 seniors and those with disabilities.
Mazza said, according to the early information he's received, Bergen County's Meals on Wheels program wouldn't be affected since it gets federal funding through the Older Americans Act, administered by the federal Department of Health and Human Services.
"As of this moment, we haven't heard of any cuts to that," he said.
But other local Meals on Wheels programs do receive block-grant funds, and while that money isn't a huge part of their budget, D'Alessandro added, "every dollar counts, for these programs."
Both Mazza and D'Alessandro noted that other types of nonprofit programs in the county would see effects if block-grant funds were cut.
"CDBGs help fund dozens of projects, large and small, that really impact the well-being of people in Bergen County," D'Alessandro added.
Such programs may address domestic violence and school safety, provide low-income housing for seniors and veterans, or assist seniors and people with developmental disabilities.
"In all likelihood, you or someone you know has benefited from the funding that CDBG provides to programs throughout our communities," she added.
The White House's proposal must still make its way through Congress, which ultimately makes budget decisions.
"I'm certain that they will hear from constituents around the country," Mazza said.
"These are not the kinds of programs, for the most vulnerable among us, that we condone cuts to. A budget is an elected official's priority statement."
D'Alessandro added,
This money makes a positive difference in the lives of the nearly 1 million people that live in Bergen County. We're urging our leaders in Washington not to cut the program and preserve the funding.

© Blend Real Estate. All Rights Reserved. Sitemap.
Blend is a brokerage for listings and sellers. You'll be offered our award winning results and services for your home. We specialize in the preparation of your home for sale before it even hits the Multiple Listing Service. We are extremely good at what we do.
We guarantee that all marketing we mention in our listing presentation will be implemented and we'll checklist it off for you throughout the marketing phase. Our listings are always treated with a simple philosophy: every property is an estate. We blend seamlessly the same marketing for every home no matter its price.
Blend Real Estate was founded by Kimberly Dotseth. She was named "Broker Of The Year" in 2012 by the San Diego Association of REALTORS, the largest trade organization in San Diego County with over 12,000 members. She was also named a Five Star Agent by San Diego Magazine for 2007 – 2018. With $250+ million sold, Kimberly manages your entire real estate process from pre-listing preparation of the home to the final day of escrow.
Also working with Blend Real Estate is Kerry Garnett, a highly successful broker associate who left his corporate career in television to try houses. And he's amazing! Kerry Garnett can be found at kerrygarnett.com and (858) 869-3351.
Kimberly brings her award-winning track record to your real estate process and a guarantee that if you're not happy, you can cancel your listing for any reason at any time with zero financial or contractual obligation. It's written into your listing agreement. Unlike other brokers, she encourages her clients to be creative. Whatever you need in your real estate transaction, she'll deliver it. All of her agents have the same philosophy: creative intelligence day and night at work to make all clients happy.
Blend was created primarily around listings. What do our sellers need to get a home sold, often with multiple offers and to a qualified buyer? Our job is to write a brilliant online presence for the seller, organize professional photography and build a narrative around the property. We use a software program that we developed to organize multiple offers into a handy worksheet for the seller to compare all buyers equally. We get sellers through the marketing and offer phases, through escrow, right down to handing them their final proceeds check. We are market makers — we push the price and get it.
Contracts are fast, easy and signed electronically. Buyers, we serve all your needs too from scoping out every property for sale that matches your criteria, to writing a compelling professional letter that accompanies your offer, to negotiating hard and fast for you. Those negotiating skills: buckle up. We are stealth, our knowledge about real estate runs really deep, and we intend to win your contract preferences no matter which side we're representing.
All listings are photographed with a Nikon D5000 DSLR camera and a variety of wide angle lenses. Boom flash, tripod, lighting and a little editing will make your photos simply gorgeous. Videos are produced with a variety of special video cameras just for real estate purposes. Wow factor included.
What a difference things make! When we say staging, it can mean adding or taking away from your personal space when prepping your home for sale. Less is often more, but empty is not more. In vacant homes, we 'surface stage' the kitchen, fireplace mantle, front door area and bathrooms. Candles are vitally important to ambiance at open houses and they are new for every listing. To get top dollar, everything must be clean and smell great. Sparkly sells. We pay to have all listings professionally cleaned before staging and photography.
We take care of sparkly from our vast inventory of staging materials. If your home is not vacant, we work with what you have in place and often put a few things away. Voila! Your home looks bigger. It's magic. We know what works. It take less than an afternoon to get staging done no matter the size of the property.
Blend Real Estate will continue Kimberly's brokerage tradition of donating commission to charity. There is no limit as to what can be donated but often it's 10% of the gross commission received by the brokerage. Right off the top. We feel very passionate about three subjects and our donations reflect this: Animals, Seniors and Blood Cancer.
We donate to many, many animal charities and Meals on Wheels. The third charity is the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Saving animals, feeding seniors and trying to eradicate blood cancers take up much of our personal philanthropic time and dollars.
You'll find us actively involved with all social media. Feel free to watch us or interact with us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram. For Facebook, we make it a policy to never "friend" our clients unless they want to friend us first, and if they do then we accept immediately because we want to get to know you better. We prefer this process because our first job is to do business with you and jumping into your personal space may not be your preference. We respect your boundaries and are friendly people who mix business and pleasure all the time. Some of our social media posts are business, some are personal. Please say hello, like, follow or friend!
Thank you SO much, Kimberly! Thank you for everything and your hard work in securing our dream home. We loved your thank you gifts. Your professionalism and attention to detail was outstanding and your friendship means the world to us. – Dr. TS and ES

Microsoft Office Mobile comes to iPhone
Microsoft Office is finally coming to the iPhone but you'll need an Office 365 subscription to take advantage of Office Mobile on Apple's handset. The app, which is meant to complement Office on a personal computer, lets users access, view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents on the iPhone, or create Word and Excel docs (but not PowerPoint docs) from scratch on those handsets. The app includes Word templates for an Agenda, Outline or Report, and Excel templates for a Budget, Event Schedule and Mileage Tracker.
Microsoft says that as you apply edits on the phone, or add comments, all the formatting and layout changes you make remain intact when you return to the document on a PC or Mac. You can review comments made by others on the phone. And you can review Office documents you receive as email attachments.
Files can be saved in the cloud on Microsoft's SkyDrive or SkyDrive Pro. From the app you can send files off as attachments. Office content can be cached locally on the phone.
Microsoft has added tools to help folks run Office on the smaller screen. A Slide Navigator, for example, promises to let you page through PowerPoint presentations quickly. A Speaker Notes feature helps you practice presentations from the road. And a Resume Reading feature takes you the precise point in a document where you last left off on your computer.
Given the more diminutive screen size on the iPhone compared to a desktop PC or laptop, not every last feature available to computer users of Office will be available in the mobile version—there are no pivot tables, for example, in the mobile Excel.
Office Mobile for the iPhone is free but you'll need that Office 365 subscription, currently $99.99 per year (or $9.99 per month) to use Office on up to 5 PCs and/or Macs. The iPhone installations do not count against the 5-computer limit, but you're limited to installs on just 5 iPhones. If you don't already have an account, you can purchase an Office 365 subscription from within the app.
Office Mobile has been available now on Microsoft's own Windows Phones for years, of course, but not on rival mobile platforms until now. Certain third party apps helped fill the void for people who needed to deal with Office files on the iPhone, including the QuickOffice app that is now owned by Google.
For now Microsoft isn't releasing separate versions of Office Mobile for the iPad, or for that matter, for Google's Android mobile operating system. But you can use an iPad to access Office Web Apps

'Life ain't pretty . . . I can testify to that s–t," opined Billie Joe Armstrong early in last night's Green Day concert at Barclays Center.
The last eight months have seen him suffer a drink- and prescription-drug-fueled meltdown onstage in Las Vegas, enter an outpatient rehab program, and have his band's big return come to a screeching halt before it could even get into second gear.
You get the feeling that his testimony on life's ugliness would indeed be compelling, but Armstrong would never dream of ruining anyone's night out with such self-pitying.
Instead, he and his Berkeley punks turned in the kind of 2 1/2- hour celebration that has long been their calling card. But before the real pleasure, the band understandably felt the need to deal with the unfinished business of "Uno!" "Dos!" and "Tres!" — their triple whammy of new records that got lost behind the darkened haze of Armstrong's personal issues. Although Green Day could have done with some quality control on those albums, they front-loaded the show with a smart selection of new songs and proved that the power pop of tracks like "Stop When The Red Lights Flash" and "Stay the Night" could compete with their hit-filled back catalog.
Once the dust has settled, these newer tunes will undoubtedly become part of the Green Day canon, but for now, the band's stockpile of oldies still hold the key to turning a mere concert into a full-blown rock-'n'-roll party. "Holiday" kick-started that transformation, as Armstrong led a Mexican wave around the arena.
The 50-year-old Green Day fans who probably saw them play in squats in 1991 were given a thrill by the obscurer material, such as "Going to Pasalacqua," and, as ever, there were numerous opportunities for crowd participation throughout the night. The most entertaining turned out to be a girl who was invited onstage to sing the last verse of "Longview," and did so as if channeling the spirit of Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst. Armstrong may have seen some wild things in the 25 years he has fronted Green Day, but there's no accounting for a fan turning them in to a rap-metal group for a few fantastically entertaining moments. No wonder he looked so amused.
It can't be denied that there are many elements of the band's onstage shtick that have been in place for years. The extended medley of "King for a Day/Shout," for example, has been welded to their set lists for a decade, at least. But in the moment, they always manage to pull off these highly practiced pieces as if it were the first time, and there is precious little sign of even the repeat customers using them as bathroom breaks.
Armstrong's experience in rehab and the associated fallout may have complicated his inner-psyche dramatically, but outwardly, the equation is still pretty simple; If you don't like Green Day, you probably don't like having fun.

(PRWEB) July 30, 2014
Clarkson University's Shipley Center for Innovation has pinpointed several of the locations to display the shingle for the new Innovation Hot Spot Program in Ogdensburg, Massena, Plattsburgh, Watertown, and Saranac Lake.
The North Country is one of only five New York State Regional Economic Development Councils that was awarded a Hot Spot through New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo's Regional Economic Development Council initiative.
The Shipley Center and its Peyton Hall Incubator administer an Innovation Hot Spot award to advance technology transfer and support all aspects of start-ups and expansion in New York State's North Country.
The Hot Spot program has been able to bring together institutions, agencies, and multiple businesses in the area to create an innovation ecosystem across the North Country Region.
Each office at the selected locations will be open one day per week and staffed by a start-up professional who will meet with entrepreneurs who have ideas for new businesses and need assistance. They will be able to help with anything from providing resources in the area to forming a corporation to developing a business plan to commercialize their products and growing.
"The Innovation Hot Spot Program aims to expand the North Country's innovation ecosystem building off the existing backbone of the partners involved," said Matthew E. Draper, deputy director of the Shipley Center for Innovation. "The North Country has a wealth of human capital and we seek to harness this resource to bootstrap economic development by building our own ideas into companies, jobs, and wealth that stays in the region." "Swift Eyewear is excited to sponsor the Massena, NY Hot Spot and support entrepreneurship in the area," said Joseph Ianni, CEO of Swift Eyewear.
The North Country Innovation Hot Spot program has four out of five locations selected -- a Saranac Lake location is still being determined. To find an incubator, the program has launched a website that includes the locations, vetting criteria, and the proposal. It is also now accepting ideas from the region to start the program. For more information, go to http://www.northcountryhotspot.com.
The program hopes to nurture new start-ups and direct successful entrepreneurs into New York State's new START-UP NY program, which gives start-ups the opportunity to operate tax-free for 10 years on eligible campuses and spaces in New York State.
The Innovation Hot Spot team will be visiting four locations this week from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on each day:
Tuesday, July 29: CITEC Plattsburgh Office, 402 West Bay Plaza
Wednesday, July 30: 351 E. Orvis St., Massena
Thursday, July 31: Watertown DANC Office, 317 Washington Street
Friday, August 1: 120 Chimney Point Drive Suite B, Ogdensburg

Re: Silent Hills - Pack it up boys. Show's over.
Posted: Mon Apr 27, 2015 7:27 am
Poor old Guillermo del Toro. He has the worst luck with making video games.
From The Ashes
UPDATE 27/04/2015: Konami has sent us over a brief Q&A on the likely Silent Hills cancellation.
In it the Japanese company says it will continue to develop the Silent Hill series, but it fails to deny Silent Hills, specifically, has been cancelled.
There's also reference to an image of Norman Reedus which supposedly disappeared from the official Silent Hills website. But as far as we can tell the image of the actor is still up. Perhaps it will be removed later today.
Here's the Q&A, for what it's worth:
Why has the image of Norman Reedus disappeared from the official website?
This is because our contract period with him has expired.
Why is "P.T." no longer available on Playstation Network?
Because the distribution period has expired.
What will happen with regard to "SILENT HILL"?
Konami Digital Entertainment Co., Ltd. will continue to develop the "SILENT HILL" series.
What will happen with regard to "P.T."?
P.T. was purely created to be a playable teaser for "SILENT HILL."
What do you mean by "playable teaser"?
The playable teaser was a trial edition of "SILENT HILLS" intended to give players an idea of the game concept.
"Konami is committed to new Silent Hill titles, however the embryonic 'Silent Hills' project developed with Guillermo del Toro and featuring the likeness of Norman Reedus will not be continued,"
eVoL wrote:He said "I'm done with Metal Gear, theres no story left" and they said "lol, back to work silly man!". A safe wager.

SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A crowd estimated at more than 100,000 people lined San Antonio's River Walk to cheer from balconies, blow horns and chant "Go Spurs go" on Wednesday to celebrate the team's National Basketball Association championship.
San Antonio Spurs players floated on barges along the city's downtown waterway, which is lined with shops and restaurants and on Wednesday was packed with fans wearing the team's silver and black colors.
"This is awesome," said Jason Menendez, dressed from head to toe in Spurs gear.
The Spurs delivered a decisive end to the Miami Heat's two-year reign atop the basketball world by routing LeBron James and his teammates on Sunday in San Antonio to win the NBA Finals four games to one. It was the Spurs' fifth championship in 15 years.
It was also the fifth championship party in San Antonio for the Spurs' laconic head coach Gregg Popovich, who said the parade is "hot and sweaty but a lot of fun for the whole city."
"It's the culmination of what we have tried to do and what the city has hoped for," Popovich said before the parade.
Two dozen barges decorated in silver and black carried the players, their families, coaches, team executives, city officials and the championship trophy past screaming fans.
"The French connection," Spurs guard Tony Parker bellowed to the crowd from the barge he was riding with his fellow veteran of the French basketball league, Boris Diaw.
Several companies closed early to let employees attend the parade, which received global attention due to the international make-up of the Spurs, who have eight players on their current roster born outside of the United States.
"I want to do it again next year," player Danny Green told the crowd.
